a funny thing happened on the way to running away....

....Gen told me to see a shrink.

thank you Gen.   seriously.   thank you for putting yourself out there.  i actually *have* an appointment with my head-med doc on monday and in typical slipping into a downward spiral mode i was going to cancel or not show up.   now i KNOW that i HAVE to go.   it is at 6 so i will have to shuffle it with support group or try to get in a little earlier.  but i am going.  and i am going with all of you bloggers pushing me in the door.

damn frickin hormones and wonky level.   but at the same time *whew* i am not a TOTAL freakazoid.  this is just further proof that my body really is changing! yay!  i am hopeful that facing my doc we will be able to make an adjustment that will help me.

yeah, sorry, at this point in time i do not see exercise being my coping mechanism.  i like the idea of writing or blogging so perhaps i need to work on some discipline and focus there.

last night two of my dearest friends came over for a "slumber" party.   lots of girl talk.  it was fun and they helped me wrap my mind around the grrl stuff going on in my life.

and now i am signing off to go up to disney for a much needed mini-vacation with the princess and NOT TO RUN AWAY.  lol.    i've got my favorite evil queen shirt on and i am ready to go and FACE my feelings and feel frickin good.

have a great weekend.  looking forward to catching up with all you tomorrow night..... and thanks to all of you for your honesty.

  2. So glad my thoughts helped. I have been there. I am now so vigilant about depression - in myself and others -- after experiencing the death of my dear uncle by suicide just a couple years ago. It could have been prevented, I am quite sure, with just a few tiny pills! Depression is not something to ignore or take lightly. Good for you keeping your appointment.

    Many of us with overeating issues also experience depression - if you took a poll of bandster bloggers, I am sure it would be more than 50% of us.

    So have a fab time at Disney, then report back after your visit with the doc! Enjoy!
